'I acknowledged the value of eating mud': Guy on LinkedIn gets dragged for tone deaf post

The number of people on LinkedIn who need to stop and read the room is increasing astronomically, and this "Growth Advisor" is no exception.

This post was shared via this thread on Reddit's r/LinkedInLunatics subreddit by u/Che_Pibe, who appropriately highlighted the phrase "eat mud." What an awful choice of words for someone who is actually promoting the concept of paying your dues. Of course, this guy, whose job seems like a BS position with a glorified title, has decided to combat the concept of "quiet quitting" with a lame and outdated perspective on what it means to work hard at the bottom of the ladder. And all to be a "growth advisor!"

Someone should tell this guy that if he really wants to inspire younger employees, who reject the concept of sacrificing their lives for their work, he should try to get a real sense of where they're coming from before stepping on his LinkedIn soap box. Also, the fact that he truly believes creating posts like this consistently on LinkedIn has helped his career is baffling to us. No, sir. Posts like this inspire nothing but eye-rolling. Posts like this make you a "fractional VP" and not an actual VP.
